" summary

Author runs and measures real AWS Lambda implementations for Haskell (via shim for Haskell), BuckleScript, ClojureScript, PureScript and F# and compares package size, memory footprint, execution time and cold starts. JVM packages are largest, Node.js-based runtimes boot fastest, F# shows the most predictable performance and lowest cost variance, ClojureScript and Scala hit time limits, and the cited paper claims 95% operational cost savings. Repository with reproducible examples and tooling notes is provided.
